Hi Girls,

Welcome Tracy, I am sorry you have been diagnosed with GD. This is my 2nd pregnancy and I was diagnosed with GD about a month ago. I was never tested with my 1st pregnancy so not sure if I had it then or not. Like you I failed my fasting level and was not able to do the 2 hr GTT but they wanted to try again a week later and that time I was able to have it. However I was diagnosed with GD. Like the others have said, this is a great thread and ask as many questions as you need. I am still fairly new to it all as well so I am still learning but the girls have been great in helping me understand what is going on. I too understand about DH not fully understanding. Like Tennykins said they are supportive but don't know what it is like to constantly think about what foods you can or cant eat and about testing your bsl's at the right time.

Well I am managing my GD with diet alone still so far They have now told me that I can just check my bsl's every 2nd day if I want to. I am still finding myself testing though. Yesterday was the first day I didn't test and had a bit of a blow out with the food, I know it is naughty but my GD educator told every now and then wont hurt and I have been soooo good and strict on myself for the last month.

Well only 3 wks from tomorrow and I will be holding my bubba (my caesar booked for 3rd nov. Got to have a caesar but not due to GD). Cant wait for all this testing business to be over. I am still scared it wont go away after bubs is born though. I haven't had any sizing scans so have no idea how big my baby will be. I feel bigger with this pregnancy but I was also heavier to start off with. When they measure my tummy at my appointments it is measuring right on target which I guess is a good thing!!!

Better go, hope everyone is well!!
